FLAVOBING COMPOUND FOR CIGARS.

No Drawing.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, LAWRENCE A. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Port Gibson, in the county of Claiborne and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Flavoring Compounds for Cigars, of Which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in formula for liquids for flavoring cigars, and has for its object to provide a liquid of the character specified, for use in the device forming the subject-matter of my co-pending application, Serial No. 850,939, filed July 14, 1914.

The improved liquid is designed to be placed under pressure in containers, normally closed, and having valve mechanism, Which may be operated by pressing down over the port through Which the liquid is expelled under pressure With the clipped end of the cigar. When the valve is opened in this manner a portion of the liquid in the form of spray or in suspension is drawn into the cigar, thus moistening and flavoring the same.

The liquid is composed of fluid extract of Havana tobacco or other high grade tobacco Specification of Letters Patent.
